Taxes paid at the time of purchase are what type of cost?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

According to the ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management documentation, original cost is the amount paid to acquire an asset, including any taxes, fees, shipping, installation, or other expenses directly related to the purchase. Original cost is used to calculate depreciation and amortization of an asset over its useful life. The other options are not the type of cost that taxes paid at the time of purchase are. Operating expense, operating cost, and capital expense are different ways of classifying the costs of using and maintaining an asset after it is purchased.

I feel like I read that taxes at purchase are part of the Original Cost, but I could also see how they might relate to Capital Expense.

I'm a bit uncertain here. Could taxes be classified as Operating Expense? That doesn't seem right to me.

I think taxes paid at the time of purchase might be considered an Original Cost, but I'm not entirely sure.

I remember learning about these different cost categories in class. I think the key is to focus on when the cost is incurred - at the time of purchase in this case. I've got a good feeling about this one.

Okay, let me see. Taxes are paid at the time of purchase, so that makes me think it's either original cost or capital expense. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

D. Capital Expense, no doubt about it. I bet the tax man would love to see us all treat it as an operating cost!

Operating expense? Nah, that's for the day-to-day stuff. Taxes are more like a one-time thing, so it's gotta be a capital expense.

I see your point, but I still think it's a capital expense because it's a one-time cost for the asset.
